As Traw sls
A newspaper whose columns
overflow with ads of business
men has more iuflueuce in at
tractiug attention to and buiid
ing up a city or toton than any
other agency that can be em
ployed. People go where there
is business. Capital and labor
will locate where there is an eli
ter prising community. No power
on earth is so strong to build up
a town as a newspaper well pat
ronized. and its power should be
appreciated.—The late Rev. T,

vvhei'e much lie will this locate. decision IVe'regi’eT'
very on the
part of Prof. Sanford and trust
that he will reconsider ilie mat

school, under his administration
has been a pronounced success,
and we believe the progress of
the institution would be retarded
should the, present corps of
teachers resign.
In saying this we have no axe
to grind — no friends to reward or
enemies to punish. We have
only the interest of the most
people at heart. 7 he, school, as
it stands today is the equal, if
not the supeiio'*. of any in this
section of Georgia. If is really

Crawford vile possesses ihat
